According to KFOR, the grain containing the phone was driven from Chickasha to Inola, Oklahoma. From there it traveled along the Arkansas River and then down the Mississippi River by barge to Convent, Louisiana.

It eventually reached Kashima, Japan, where the caller found the phone among 2million bushels of grain.
